Seeing her old friend's state, Yang Yufen decided to find something to distract her.
"Mom, you're awake. How are you feeling?"
Wang Shuo came in from outside.
"I'm not seriously injured, but what about the kids?"
"The child, Fang Fen took the child back. It's quite cold with the snow."
Wang Shuo didn't dare say that Miao Miao was also sick. Miao Miao was too young. The atmosphere at home had been very somber these past few days. Today it snowed again, and the child couldn't hold on. After taking the elderly to the hospital, completing the procedures, and finishing the examination, the couple only realized something was wrong with their younger daughter after being reminded by their eldest daughter.
"It's cold. Tell the child and Fang Fen to be careful. I'll stay in the hospital for two days and then go back. You don't need to take care of me. I can call a nurse if I need anything."
"Okay, I'll stay with your mother for the next couple of days. You all go about your business."
Yang Yufen knew that her child was sick, and the reason she didn't mention it earlier was because she had the same concerns as Wang Shuo.
"I've already taken leave. My mother isn't feeling well, so I can't rest easy. But I really need to trouble my godmother to help me spend more time with my mother."
Wang Shuo spoke gratefully.
Fang Fen rushed over after preparing the meal and delivered it to her daughter first.
"Yaoyao, take good care of your little sister. Mommy is going to see your grandma."
Yao Yao nodded obediently, took out the food to feed her younger sister, and Fang Fen hurriedly left with another lunchbox.
"Mom, I cooked some porridge and noodles. Do you like it?"
"Okay, you don't need to go through all that trouble next time. The hospital has a cafeteria, you can just buy it there. You also have to take care of two children, but Wang Shuo is here for you."
"Yes, Mom, I'll take care of things here. You haven't eaten yet either, have you? Go back and have some with the kids."
Wang Shuo stepped forward to help, and Fang Fen nodded in understanding.
Fang Fen was indeed worried about the child. After saying a few words, she left. Wang Da Niang watched her daughter-in-law's back and suddenly spoke.
"Is the child feeling unwell?"
"Oh, no, Mom, don't think too much about it."
Wang Shuo's hand trembled slightly.
“I’m already this old. Fang Fen was in such a hurry just now. The two kids are usually fine when they’re home alone. Something must be wrong with the kids to make her so anxious. Could they have caught a cold?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo met his mother's gaze and knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he could only nod.
"Alright, I can eat and move around. You go and help Fang Fen take care of the child, otherwise it will be too tiring for her to do it all by herself."
Aunt Wang took the lunchbox from Wang Shuo's hand and waved for him to leave.
"Go on, go on, I'll take care of your mother here."
Yang Yufen decided to help chase people away as well. After Wang Shuo left, Yang Yufen sat down by the hospital bed.
"I can't finish this either. I'll have some porridge. I can't eat this noodle soup. You eat quickly."
"OK."
Yang Yufen didn't stand on ceremony. After eating the noodles, she helped her old friend to the restroom. Not long after they came out, Aunt Wang fell asleep again. When Wang Shuo came back, Aunt Wang had just fallen asleep.
"Take the lunchbox back with you. I'm keeping an eye on this medicine. You two haven't had a proper rest these past few days, and you still have to take care of the child. You can't afford to overwork yourselves."
Yang Yufen handed the cleaned lunchbox to Wang Shuo.
"Thank you, godmother."
Wang Shuo picked up the lunchbox, glanced at his sleeping mother, and quietly left, closing the door behind him.
When one child gets sick, two others get infected, both girls. Yao Yao has a cold, and Miao Miao has a fever. Fang Fen doesn't dare to leave her side for a moment.
For three consecutive days, Yang Yufen came to keep him company every day, talking about the orchard's plans for next spring.
"We'll just grow medicinal herbs in the orchard for one year. As for the greenhouse, once the weather gets warmer, we can try growing wood ear mushrooms. We won't need that much space for seedlings."
